Usually, but how long depends on the offense and your BAC. A first offense brings a suspension of 30 to 180 days at 0.08 to 0.10, 3 to 12 months at 0.10 to 0.15, and 3 to 18 months at 0.15 or higher. A second offense within 10 years brings 1 to 2 years, and a third brings 2 to 3 years or more. Refusing the test is a separate case with its own 6 month to 1 year suspension on a first refusal. In many cases the court can allow you to keep driving with an ignition interlock. See DUI penalties in Rhode Island for the full breakdown.
